About the process
Here at TP Transcription Limitedand University Transcriptionswe operate an extremely vigorous recruitment process when it comes to offering jobs in transcription to new transcribers.
The very nature of transcription work requires an ultra sensitive ear for deciphering the spoken word and an extremely good grasp of the English language.
Completing transcription work and being a transcriber is not an easy job. It is not easy work, it can be extremely boring and requires a considerable amount of time to be spent sat at a computer (or stood of course!).
We have transcribers working with us who have been undertaking assignments for us for over 10 years, and have worked on copious numbers of research projects and contracts. However because of our size we do have to undertake a virtually continuous recruitment programme as we are expanding at a very fast rate.
So what does our recruitment process entail?
We check the technical ability and capability of everyone who works with us, and require as an absolute minimum a reasonable amount of IT knowledge in order to be able to download recordings and upload transcriptions. We do this by way of a lengthy application form asking our future transcribers about their capabilities and knowledge.
We also review each individual transcriber’s CV. The overwhelming majority of our transcribers are former legal and medical secretaries, but we have graduates looking for flexible work to fit around other commitments as well as parents and semi-retired people in a similar position.
The main part of our initial application is to get each transcriber to complete a piece of work for us as if it were from a client. We have the same piece of work for everybody and send it out to every applicant for transcription work regardless of their previous experience.
This helps us filter out anyone who thinks that transcription work would be a good idea but who have never actually completed any and when they have done they discover it really is not for them.
This process takes the applicant about 45 minutes to complete including the sample transcription work, and we spend some time reviewing each application to assess whether a transcriber is going to fit within our fairly tight criteria for work. Accuracy levels are key.
Once we have processed the application forms, considered the CVs and assessed the same transcription, we then assign a short piece of work to each successful transcriber.
